I have a 9 month old female cockapoo who was housebroken quickly. She knows the basic commands of sit, stay, and down but has selective hearing.
She has extreme energy that is now out of control. I have tried to work on the heel command, but although she will sit next to my left leg, on the command, she will lunge leap ahead of me and there is no holding her back. I bring her back and repeat the command. She will not stop leaping and hopping off the line. This is the same pattern she has when going for a walk. She never walks…she strains on her leash and pulls me down the street.
What am I doing wrong, and what can I do to gain control?
